Title: A method and an apparatus for feeding image plates used for intraoral dental x-ray photography into a reading device
Inventor: KOVANEN ILKKA
IPC: B65H3/24
Filed: 2000-01-07
Granted: 2005-06-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for feeding image plates (1) used in intraoral dental X-ray photography into a reading device. During the reading step an excited phosphorus layer on the plate (1) is scanned with a laser beam and is converted into a visible image on a display screen or a film. In accordance with the invention, the excited image plates (1) are removed from their protective bags and are stacked into a housing (2) which acts as their intermediate storage and is protected from light, from where the plates are gripped by a conveyor, such as a toothed belt (16), to be fed forwards. The plates can be pulled or pressed e.g. by a magnet (12) and/or a pushing device (15) towards a conveyor conducted laterally of the housing. The conveyor (9) may comprise gripping means (16), with which the conveyor entrains the image plate which is closest each time and moves it forward on the transfer path onto the path of the slide integrated in the reading device. The slide grips the plate which gets within its reach each time and transfers it to the reading step for the image to be read and the plate to be cleared. The slide may make a reciprocating movement so as to return the plates which have been read onto the conveyor (9), which then also carries out removal of the plates.

Abstract: A method of enhancing and normalising x-ray images, particularly mammograms, by correcting the image for digitizer blur, glare from the intensifying screen and the anode-heel effect. The method also allows the calculation of the compressed thickness of the imaged breast and calculation of the contribution to the mammograms of the extra focal radiation. The correction of the image for glare from the intensifying screen allows the detection of noise, such as film shot noise, in the image, and in particular the differentiation between such noise and microcalcifications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring run/stop conditions of a yarn, particularly in a knitting or warping machine utilizing a yarn feeler. The yarn feeler includes an electronic, yarn actuated transducer operating with variable gain amplification of run input signals which are further processed to final output signals representing the run/stop conditions. The amplification gain for the run input signal is automatically electronically controlled with a time delay and is adjusted towards a floating minimum which is just sufficient to derive stable final output signals. The, reaction time delay allows compensation for naturally occurring parametric fluctuations of the run input signal, while a sudden drop of the run input signal due to yarn breakage is processed to a final output stop signal.

Abstract: Ce procédé de production de gaz de ville consiste à faire s'évaporer du diméthyléther, à le chauffer en présence de vapeur dans un four de réchauffage (33)et à l'introduire dans un réacteur de reformage multitubulaire (35) afin de le mettre en contact avec un catalyseur de reformage, ce qui donne un gaz contenant du méthane comme principal constituant, du dioxyde et du monoxyde de carbone et de l'hydrogène. On introduit ensuite le gaz reformé résultant dans une unité d'adsorption (37) du type à variation de pression pour extraire le dioxyde de carbone par adsorption, puis on l'introduit dans un réacteur de méthanisation (38) afin de méthaniser le monoxyde et le dioxyde de carbone, ce qui donne un matière première pour gaz de ville. On ajoute enfin à cette matière première du diméthyléther comme agent de renforcement de la valeur calorifique. Ce procédé, qui n'exige pas d'unité de désulfuration du fait que la matière première ne contient pas de soufre, fait montre d'une grande efficacité en matière de transport en comparaison du procédé utilisant du méthanol comme matière première et ne réclame pas un excès d'énergie lors de l'évaporation, ce qui fait que ce gaz se prête du mieux à une commercialisation à petite et moyenne échelle.

Abstract: An absorbent article such as a diaper or an incontinence protector, comprising at least one liquid storage region (2, 3) with high absorption capacity and at least one wicking layer (4) which overlaps at least a substantial part of the liquid storage region and which has greater liquid dispersion ability than the storage region. The wicking layer (4) is intended to disperse liquid collected locally in the article over the liquid storage region (2, 3). The aim of the invention is to improve liquid dispersion in absorbent articles. The invention is characterized in that liquid-impermeable portions (5, 6) are arranged at separate places in the article along sections of overlapping parts of the wicking layer (4) and the liquid storage region (2, 3) in order to prevent the transfer of liquid over said parts from the wicking layer to the storage region. The liquid impermeable portions (5, 6) are placed in such a way that liquid from at least one initial accumulation place in connection with wetting of the article is first dispersed in the wicking layer (4) along said portions separated from the liquid storage region (2, 3) and thereafter is dispersed further in the liquid storage region at a distance from said accumulation place.

Abstract: Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and immunoconjugates employing them. Also described are diagnostic and therapeutic methods using the antibodies. The anti-mesothelin antibodies are well-suited for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.
